Ryan is every bit the stud he was coming out of college! He just shows it now as an anylist instead of a player!! Continue the amazing work brother, the hard work shows!
When in the hell was the last time anyone heard a Jim Plunkett reference or analysis!?!? Either Ryan is just flexing on us or he is thorough and dialed in…I think Ryan is legitimately dialed in on as much NFL info and history as possible and then comparing it to how it relates to today’s game. Cheers Ryan, you are awesome and I think you are just doing everything you can to know your shit! Someday, you and me are gonna be buddies. That would be a dream come true for me. The rookie card I have of you has just moved into my stack of absolute favorites forever!
russell wilson became a celebrity quarterback instead of a quarterback who became a celebrity. it started in seattle and went overboard in denver with his own office on a different floor away from the rest of the team.
I understand what Leaf was saying about a not having a negative mindset. I wish Dan pressed him a little more about that. In Russ case its fine to not have a negative mindset but you do have to look at the criticism coming your way and see if any of it is warranted or should be blocked out. Criticism is hard but it can also be a growth opportunity if you can learn to not take it so personally. Much easier said than done.
The clock on Payton's Bronco tenure starts with the 2024 season, now that Russell Wilson has departed... IMO, there's no way Payton accepted the head coaching job without clear autonomy on cutting/benching Russ if he felt the need to do it. With how bad Wilson played the previous season, 2022, a coach with Payton's resume would set that decision as a benchmark during the hiring negotiations.
I can’t see a single team lining up for what Russ has put up for the last 2 seasons. A 5 game win streak the ended up being a mirage for Denver fans. This wasn’t 100% on coaching. It was also on a QB that still believes he’s 23 out there and loves running into sacks, and missing wide open receivers.
I thought the Broncos showed real improvement from 2022-2023 to 2023-2024. They went from a 5 and 12 record to an 8 and 9 record, where they played better in the second half of the season. Sean Peyton did improve the team. o
I see Ryan Leaf on DP's show and click it and like in one! I admire the heck out of him. Sean Payton is the real problem. I don't really care for Russell as a human. But as a quarterback, I believe he still has a few years left in him. I actually would love to see him win another Super Bowl just to prove Payton for what he is, overrated!
For reals about Peyton! Narc self promoter with VERY little to show for it.. Not a Wilson fangirl, but cmon, Peyton is a bully and showed shameful behavior on the sidelines, as well as trashed another coach. NOT a leader and made horrendous in game decisions. Go Ryan!
Leaf is a fool who is rewriting history on the Broncos...as a life long season ticket holder and fan...he is out of his element. I would be SHOCKED if he did anything more than watch Broncos box scores, let alone an entire quarter of a game. This is just poor analysis.
when dan likes a player. he REALLY likes a player. i remember he said matt barkley (USC qb) was agoing no.1 overall in the draft a few years back. why? he liked the kid. barkley went in the 3rd round and out of the league in 3 years.
I can listen to Ryan Leaf all day. What an impressive human being he is.

So happy for Ryan and his great development as an analyst
I absolutely love when Ryan Leaf is on the show. I cannot say enough about how inspiring his honesty and resilience is to me.
6:55 you can hear him almost cry. He might’ve been an asshole during his playing days, but I’m glad he’s gotten his life together
Always a great interview
Man Leaf is very good on radio. Really understands the medium
Ryan, you are awesome.
Great interviewer and interviewee.
Well done on life too. 👏
Ryan Leaf I highly respect you. You are an inspiration
Man I love when Ryan is on the show!
Thank God for second chances, great job Ryan.

Why did Payton take the job if he didn’t like Russ? Now I remember, monster salary. Walmart money!
russell wilson became a celebrity quarterback instead of a quarterback who became a celebrity. it started in seattle and went overboard in denver with his own office on a different floor away from the rest of the team.
A lot of us didn’t see his decline falling off THAT HARD. Thanks for the 11 wins, Unlimited 🥴
Leaf is great at breaking things down for us football consumers and he is also a great person.
Thank you Ryan.
Ryan has indeed, turned a new Leaf.
Leaf is among the best football analysts out there! He is so right about the Denver coach!
Billings MT in the house...had to go there for work a few times...great city!!
Ryan Leaf and Maurice Clarett. Proof God can always bring you back.
Well said Ryan i agree. Play to Russells strength
I’m over his past being brought up. IMO he’s much more than that. He is obviously on a great path, so talk about that versus being the “baggage” guy.
Mark my words. Whoever drafts Penix is getting a steal.
Ryan was great on Rich Eisen's show, so I know he will do well. o
Hey Ryan, love the shirt. Go Cats! 😁
That Mercedes has got to be 10 years old, and so is the intro.

This is all on Payton!
Bobcat nation baby!
Ryan Leaf is correct on Caleb
Russ is not tough enough to be a Steeler... absurd...
Ryan Leaf sounds good, seems a bit high strung but maybe just nervous

Agreed ryan has his qb glasses on too tight
Let’s not forget Seattle didn’t want Wilson either. So it’s not just Payton.

Go Cougs!
Can Russ ever get totally past CHOKING at the goal line...NO...
Uh Ryan...BROCK PURDY? You just never really know
For reals about Peyton! Narc self promoter with VERY little to show for it.. Not a Wilson fangirl, but cmon, Peyton is a bully and showed shameful behavior on the sidelines, as well as trashed another coach. NOT a leader and made horrendous in game decisions. Go Ryan!
If its about the coach why are you questioning whether hes played his way out of the HOF? HE NEVER WAS A HOF
Wilson is a diva. He certainly cannot be a HOF'er now.
Ryan bust Leaf giving out advice
No way Russel Wilson is a HF QB.
Has anyone seen ol Dem dan do any charity work for veterans. Or the military?
Top quarterbacks struggle in a second location? I guess Brady and Montana just slipped these two clowns minds. Time to retire Dan, your mind is gone.
Leaf is a fool who is rewriting history on the Broncos...as a life long season ticket holder and fan...he is out of his element. I would be SHOCKED if he did anything more than watch Broncos box scores, let alone an entire quarter of a game. This is just poor analysis.
You can call him a fool but, offered zero evidence. Just word soup.
Russell has never been considered a possible hall of famer, except by you danny...you get man crushes on these guys... really weird 👎
when dan likes a player. he REALLY likes a player. i remember he said matt barkley (USC qb) was agoing no.1 overall in the draft a few years back. why? he liked the kid. barkley went in the 3rd round and out of the league in 3 years.
Well you have all the answers, don’t you? Stevie.
Barkley went in the 5th, but point well taken.
